Kobo Arc 7HD User Guide 11
Using the touch screen
You can touch your Kobo Arc 7HD screen to select items, open books, turn pages, and
more. In many cases you can just touch the screen lightly with a fingertip to interact
with it. There are a few other gestures that you may find useful.
• Tapping
This is the gesture you’ll use the most. Just tap the screen lightly to open a book, turn
a page, open an item in a collection, and more.
• Double-tapping
To double-tap, you tap the same spot on the screen twice quickly.
• Swipe
You can use this gesture to navigate, to turn pages in a book, or to unlock the screen.
To swipe, place your finger on the screen and quickly drag it.
• Press and hold
This gesture is also called long press. This gesture lets you select text while reading
and move items around. To use this gesture, touch the screen and hold your finger in
place. Depending on what you’re pressing, you’ll see a change on the screen – for
example, when you long press an app, you’ll see an outline appear, indicating the app
is selected.
• Dragging
This gesture lets you move items around on your Tapestries. To use this gesture, press
an item and then slide your finger across the screen to where you want the item to go.
• Pinching and zooming
This gesture allows you to zoom in or out on pages.
• To zoom in: Put your thumb and one finger together on the screen and move
them apart.
• To zoom out: Put your thumb and one finger one or two inches apart on the
screen and move them together.
